below Millville, ON sunday, a tramp stepped
to the side of the track as u Philadelphia eX-
press train rushed by, and was struck on the
left arm by a piece of coal hurled by the force

came with such force as to tear the arm out of
the socket, and the limb has been alnputated.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS as very peculiar one.
The fishermen of Atlantic City are indig-
nant at the onslaught the menhaden fisher
men are making upon the food fish. The
westerly winds of the past few days have
caused Il very smooth sea, and the fishing
sloops and steamers are fishing within a mile
of the shore. Many of the steamers are
clown casters Within a few days the men
haden fishing sloop, Ella Robbins, of Tucker
ton, n. j., with II crew, threw a net around Il
large school of drum fish Off the inlet. Many
of the fish were sold to local fishermen for a
song, and others given away. Many of the
liberated fish soon died, and have since been
washing ashore on this and Brigatine Beach.

State Superintendent Chapman says that
there will probably be between forty and
fifty new school houses erected through
New Jersey this summer. About the same
number went up last season. These inn
provements are not confined to any par
ticular section, bat dot the whole State.
Every few days the State superintendent
office is in receipt Of an inquiry from one
locality or another for plans for q new
building. The Superintendent or his as
~sistant, Mr.. Belts, are not architects, and
little can be done for the inquirers. The
need of plans for structures o fvarious sizes
is manifest. Local builders or architects,
however efficient in the construction OF
other buildings, are apt to make serious
mistakes in their provisions for schools.
The heating, ventilating. lighting, etc., OF
schools need more attention than a dwell
ing. Superintendent Chapman thinks Of
laying the matter before the next session
of the Legislature.

Canning Factory Burned.

The canning factory of Charles C. I'LL
lard, at Shiloh, Cumberland county, was
burned to the ground early Monday morn
ing. The fire was discovered at about
quarter past two O'clock. The building,
was quickly enveloped by the flames, and
the fire was beyond control before it could
be subdued. A large number Of cans were
stored in the building for the coming
season, which will be a total loss. There
was an insurance on the building, ma
chinery, etc, of $4,000. The fire is suppos-
ed to be o~finccndiarY origin. This factory,
it will be remembered, was burned down
a little over a year CO.. being rebuilt soon
afterwards by Mr.. HilIiard, and every
thing was in readiness for the approaching
seasons pack. Nearly GOO ton of toma-
toes had been contracted for, and canning
was to have been commenced in a few
weeks.

On Thursday of last week Harry Lippin-
colt was moving ON his fathers farm at
Point Airy, where the grass was high, not
noticing a hole in the ground, caused by
the sinking Of the soil over a tile drain.
The mules noticed it, however, and SHE'D
to one side, throwing the wheel of the ma
chine into the hole and Harry off his seat
on to the ground, fortunately on the side
away from the knife-bar. The team made
an effort to run, but Harry held on to them
and brought them up, sustaining a few
slight bruises.

1t is nov pretty generally conceded the
crop of fruits and nuts will be a short one.
This failure is probably owing to the low
temperature Of the spring months. Scien-
lists now claim it as a fact that male flow
ers form and blossom under q lower tenn
perature than female flowers. Hence I'M
der lower conditions Of temperature the
male blossoms shed their pollen before the
female blossoms are sufficiently developed
to receive it. This then explains the fact
of northern exposures and spring mulching
promoting the setting of fruit by retaFding
early bloSSOmino.

The State Superintendent of Public
Schools has ordered a division of the
Yorktown school district, with a view to
the settlement of the recent difficulties
there. The new district is so bounded as
to take in nearly all the colored families
and the colored school house, leaving the
old school house and the white families,
with few exceptions, in tho old district.
The difficulty now is to secure trustees for
the new district, as III one can be found
willing to take the position.

An Official Announcement of the
List of Stakes.

An Official Announcement of the
List of Stakes.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 23.-The Latonia
Jockey club has announced its list of
stakes for 1888, 1889 and 1890, with in
creased added money and new events,
all to close Jan. Is next. There are for
the spring meeting of 1888 three two
year-old stakes Clipsetta, the Har-
old and the Sensation, with 81 900 added
to each; the Ripple stakes for three
year-Olds, with $500 added, and four all
age stakes with $1,000 added to each.
For the fall meeting of 1888 there are
three stakes for twO-year-OldS, with
81, 900 added to each. For the spring of
1889 there are the LatOnia Derby with
5000 added, the Himyar and the Oaks,
each with 81, 900 added. One of the i'm
portant new events is the LatOnia Mat
ron stakes. 1t is of the produce or fu-
turity character, and will be an annual
fixture. In this stake nominations for
mares-are to close Jan. Is next, for fOals
Aug. Is, 1889, and the race will be for
twO-year-OldS and will be run at the
spring meeting of 1890. The entrance
fee for mares and fOalS is S5 each, and
the club adds $4,000. Additional stakes
IOr the neXC ldli IhccIluS lOT tWo dHu
three-year- -Olds and for all ages are to
be announced hereafter, to close Aug.
Is next. The club proposes to increase
the added money to purses next year,
making many of them equal to stake
events. 1t is predicted that but few
Southern or Western stables will go
East next year, as the large increase in
added money, the new clubs and the
prolonged meetings of the old clubs,
will insure rich prizes and continuous
racing. For 1883 the LatOnia spring
dates are May &c to June 9, and the fall
meeting will begin late in September or
early in October, and continue about
twenty dayS.

A SENSATIONAL TRIAL.
CrookstOn Excited Over a Crimi-
nal Case.
Special TO the Globe.

Special TO the Globe.
CRooKsToN, Minn., Dec. 23.-The
district court room was crowded here
to-day to hear the summing up in the
trial of Barney WOhll, charged upon
three separate indictments with inti-
macy with three of his own daughters.
The case has been in progress two days,
and has caused widespread interest,
owing to the revolving nature of the
crime. The complaining witness in the
first Indictment was WOhllS youngest
daughter. child of ten years. She
was still suffering from the injuries re-
ceiyed but gave her evidence. She said
her father had taken her to the stable
and there outraged her. He then car
ried her to the house.. so she said, and
made her tell her mother that she had
fallen upon a stick and hurt herself.
her mother, and her two sisters, aged
respectively twelve and fourteen, also
confessed. The defense admitted
that the child had been outraged,
but endeavOred to prove that the
deed had been done, not by
Wohll, but by one Sandeen, who, it was
claimed, was unduly intimate with Mrs.
Wohll, and that the two had taken this
means of getting rid of the husband in
order that they could carry on their
criminal relations with more freedom.
The jury were out about four hours,
and brought in verdict of mot guilty"
There is considerable excitement here
tonight over the verdict, and some talk
of lynching the prisoner.
